Mechanicsburg group has reached out to families

Almost six years ago, a few parents in the Mechanicsburg Area School District saw a need and formed a group that would reach out to the community to assist in a variety of ways. From this initiative grew Operation Wildcat, an organization that now sponsors almost 20 projects that benefit our kids and families.

From back-to-school supplies to Thanksgiving dinners, holiday gifts, groceries, used bikes, prom dresses (and clothes in general), used furniture, books and in many more ways, families in the MASD are better for the efforts of this wonderful group of women and men.

As a counselor in the district, I can't express strongly enough our appreciation for the time and commitment of this group. Please check out www.mbgsd.org and then go to Operation Wildcat to see the names of these wonderful members of the MASD community. On behalf of so many families, we want to thank them.
